AID Atlanta, Inc.
AID Atlanta, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive services related to HIV/AIDS. Established in 1982, it has evolved into the most comprehensive AIDS service organization in the Southeast.
History and Mission
AID Atlanta was founded in response to the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the Atlanta community. Despite initial societal fear and bigotry, its founders volunteered their time to provide support and education. Over time, the organization has expanded its services to engage Black and Latino populations, reflecting the diverse needs of the community. The mission of AID Atlanta is to reduce new HIV infections and improve the quality of life of its members and the broader community by addressing barriers and fostering community support.

AID Atlanta offers a wide range of services, including:
- HIV Medical Care: Providing primary healthcare services focused on HIV.

Community Support Initiatives
AID Atlanta actively participates in community events and partnerships to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS services. For example, the organization benefits from events like the Pride Run ATL, which supports local charities, including AID Atlanta. Additionally, programs such as "Sisters With A Voice" provide essential resources and services to families affected by or at risk for HIV/AIDS, particularly helping children succeed in school and access basic needs.
Impact and Goals
AID Atlanta annually supports hundreds of children and families by providing them with resources to meet basic needs and thrive despite the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS. The organization continues to drive strategic initiatives aimed at achieving significant milestones in HIV testing, care linkage, and community outreach. Its vision is to contribute to ending the HIV epidemic in Georgia by fostering a healthier and more equitable community.

AID Atlanta’s Men’s Engagement Network Brunch was a success! We had a meaningful and refreshing time together — connecting through honest conversation, laughter, and shared experiences. It was a safe space to unwind, reflect, and engage on mental, spiritual, and physical wellness. We also held powerful conversations around PrEP, sexual health, and safe practices, all over a great meal. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a memorable and impactful event. #AIDAtlanta #MensEngagementNetwork #CommunityHealth #PrEPAwareness #SexualHealth #MentalWellness #ATLCommunity #BlackMensHealth (fb)
